Select the WSUS update source using the WSUS Administration Console

After you install the Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) 3.0 SP2 server software, you must specify the upstream server to which the WSUS server synchronizes for updates. This topic describes how to specify the update source by using the WSUS Administration Console.

To use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to help secure WSUS communications, select the Use SSL when synchronizing update information check box. This option works only if this WSUS server and the local upstream WSUS server support SSL.
